When the walls come tumbling down

A reader sent in the photo above and says: “Looks like the lads working at 580 Carlton have located the soft corner of the formerly adjoining house. We’ll see what happens.” The collapsed building is 578 Carlton, the equally run-down brick home next door. As for 580 Carlton, the facade and far wall, opposite the collapsed corner, are all that remains of the original structure. This is part of a major renovation in attempts to sell the home for $2 million. Our tipster believes that 578 Carlton was still occupied at the time of the building collapse. There are currently no DOB violations at the site.

Some people ain't no damn goodYou can't trust 'em, you can't love emNo good deed goes unpunishedAnd I don't mind being their whipping boyI've had that pleasure for years and yearsNo, no I never was a sinner-tell me what else can I doSecond best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rulesTime respects no person-what you lift up must fallThey're waiting outside-to claim my crumblin' walls

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
